Dismissed = didn't happen, right? So that's one not to worry about. It didn't happen. I could tell you an amusing story about a dip**** rookie cop pointing a gun at my head in Santa Rosa one time, but I won't because it didn't happen.
(A $250 legal bill tells me so. Case dismissed. It didn't happen.)
The missing registration might be different though. It probably won't show on an MVR, but the newfangled CSA crap is another story (assuming this happened in a CMV). I got pulled over in Indianapolis
a couple of years back (for speeding in a 50mph zone). The cop checked over my logs and asked a couple of questions, then handed me a Level 3 inspection report. I received a clean inspection, with the exception of a warning for excessive speed. I sent the inspection report to my company with my next TripPak and never heard another word about it. No citation or anything so I thought the issue was settled. It was, as far as that job went...
After getting hired to a new gig last summer, I had to go in and fill out a bunch of forms. Among the forms was one photocopied page of the application that I had filled out before I got the job. It turns out that my warning for speeding was reported on my CSA score, so the company needed me to
correct that part of my application. When I said that I had no "tickets or convictions", as the application asked, I was apparently lying. I was supposed to have some clairvoyant knowledge that my non-ticket would qualify as a ticket, or whatever. The company didn't seem to care much at the time. They just needed everything to match up.
On the less positive side of the coin, I also recall an incident from my first run at this trucking thing (reference post #11 in
this thread) that seemed to go quite differently. Some unreported (according to the company) incident got a guy ****canned before he even started.
The obvious difference would be that my non-MVR violation was still a moving violation. I'm not sure about the guy from the '06 episode, but you may have managed to slip through the cracks by getting it to a non-moving violation. Your benevolent government has a new program to make sure you get caught whenever possible though. It might be worth your while to drop ten bucks at
this site and see what shows up. (Just bought mine, by the way. Pretty sure it was a waste of ten bucks, since it only showed the aforementioned violation in Indy, but I was curious.) You'll get an instant report and probably have a pretty good idea about what potential employers might see. Combined with an MVR, I would guess that you have all the bases covered.
